The timing of the third shot is great. Looks like stereo.

Nice shot of the gorilla through the glass. That's an area where I still struggle getting good pictures...shooting through glass.

Thanks for the compliments! What I have found so far about shooting through glass is do it at an angle, maybe 45 degrees to the glass surface. The only thing that hampers that in a zoo setting is all the people around behind you reflect very easily, just have to be patient and take several shots.
